SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title: Release of Non-Public Information—12 CFR 4, Subpart C. OMB Number: 1557–0200. Form Number: None. Abstract: This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or to the information collections embodied in the regulation. The OCC requests only that OMB renew its approval of the information collections in the current regulation. The information requirements require individuals who are requesting nonpublic OCC information to provide the OCC with information regarding the requester’s legal grounds for the request. Release of non-public OCC information when the requester did not have sufficient legal grounds to obtain the information would inhibit open consultation between a bank and the OCC, thereby impairing the OCC’s supervisory and regulatory mission. The OCC is entitled, under statute and case law, to require requesters to demonstrate that they have sufficient legal grounds for the OCC to release non-public OCC information. The OCC needs to know the requester’s legal grounds to determine if it should release VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:58 Oct 31, 2008 Jkt 217001 the requested non-public OCC information. The information requirements in 12 CFR part 4, subpart C, are located as follows: • 12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public OCC records or testimony. • 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties requesting testimony. • 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former employee notifying OCC of subpoena. • 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Limitation on dissemination of released information. • 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for authenticated records or certificate of nonexistence of records. The OCC uses the information to process requests for non-public OCC information and to determine if sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to release the requested information or provide testimony. This information collection makes the mechanism for processing requests more efficient and facilitates and expedites the OCC’s release of non-public information and testimony to the requester. Type of Review: Extension, without change, of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals. Number of Respondents: 110. Total Annual Responses: 170. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Total Annual Burden: 467 hours. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
